Smoking habits, ETS exposure and knowledge of tobacco and e-cigarettes/HTPs among university students in Italy—a multicentre study
Tobacco smoking is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, responsible for about 61,300 deaths annually in Italy. In addition to tobacco cigarettes, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs) has increased among young people, raising public health concerns. This study aimed to investigate smoking habits, exposure to passive smoke, and awareness of health risks among Italian university students. A mu…
Efficacy of a Short-Term Lifestyle Change Intervention in Healthy Young Men: The FASt Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of dietary habits and physical activity intervention on lifestyle behavior as a prevention tool supported also by personalized motivational counseling. A two-arm randomized controlled trial was carried out. A sample of 18-22-year-old students was randomly assigned to a four-month intervention based on the Mediterranean diet and moderate physical activity program (N = 66) or to a control group (N…
Genotoxic Activity of Particulate Matter and In Vivo Tests in Children Exposed to Air Pollution
The aim of this paper was to investigate the relationship between micronuclei and DNA damage in children's buccal mucosa cells and the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of the different sized fractions of particulate matter as well as the concentration of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and metals in particulate matter. Air particulate matter was collected by high volume samplers located near the schools attended by the children on the same d…
Comet Test in Saliva Leukocytes of Pre-School Children Exposed to Air Pollution in North Italy: The Respira Study
Air pollution is a well-known problem for human health, especially for children living in highly polluted urban areas. This study aimed to assess the relationship between airborne pollutants concentration and biomarkers of DNA damage in the buccal mucosa cells of pre-school children. DNA damage was investigated with comet test in saliva leukocytes taken from sputum of 3- to 6-year-old children living in Brescia, Northern Italy, collected during t…
Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in adolescents in Northern Italy: An observational school-based study
The prevalence of C. trachomatis infection among sexually active adolescents in Northern Italy was low, despite a high proportion of students who engage in risky sexual behaviour. No cases of N. gonorrhoeae infection were identified
The burden of chronic diseases and cost-of-care in subjects with HIV infection in a Health District of Northern Italy over a 12-year period compared to that of the general population
Expenditures for HIV-infection are driven mainly by drugs cost and they have increased overtime. However, our findings suggest that spending on public health for HIV care can improve prognosis of HIV-infected patients, reduce transmission of HIV infection and reduce the global burden of chronic diseases, leading to a reduction of HIV global cost in the medium-long time
Cancer incidence and mortality for all causes in HIV-infected patients over a quarter century: A multicentre cohort study
In HIV infected patients, ADC but not NADC incidence rates were higher than the general population. Although overall mortality in HIV infected subjects decreased over time, it is about three-fold higher than the general population at present
Frequency of Infectious Diseases in Immigrants in a Western European Country: A Population-Based Study
Constitutionnalisme et Idéologie de Robe. L'évolution de la Théorie Juridico-Politique de Murard et le Paige à Chanlaire et Mably
L'analyse des structures fondamentales de l'idéologie juridique de l'Ancien Régime constitue un chapitre inédit des vicissitudes de l'État moderne, bien qu'apparaisse dans l'historiographie de ces dernières années un intérêt toujours plus évident pour un sujet dont les ramifications s'étendent dans l'histoire des doctrines et des institutions politiques, dans la sociologie historique et dans l'histoire comparée du droit européen continental.Les p…
Factors associated with non-participation of women in a breast cancer screening programme in a town in northern Italy
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to investigate the reasons for the high percentage of women refusing to attend a breast cancer screening programme in the Health District of Brescia, Italy. DESIGN--This was a survey of a sample of non-attenders to the programme, who were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. SETTING--Non-attenders all lived in a central area of the town near the screening centre. PARTICIPANTS--Of the 612 non-attenders eligibl…
